Someone in your life insists of posting or forwarding those incredibly useless and victim-blamey tips too? Here, ladies, a handy dandy guide on how to avoid getting raped! Don't say we didn't warn you!

Oh hi, home state! What's new with you? Oh, judges are still racist assholes who think they know God's will and will administer it? Separation of church and state is only to protect churches? Freedom from religion isn't an option? Mom wants me to move back? Yep, SSDD.

MrBuckeye's mom can't get over why we would leave "good" jobs because I got offered a promotion. It just didn't make sense at my career would be prioritized over him staying with a company and building seniority. She can't understand that seniority is not a priority anymore.

I've written regularly about loving my job. It has given me, indirectly, the most important things in my life [MrBuckeye and ToddlerTarheelBuckeye], it allowed MrBuckeye to not have to go to work immediately when we moved, but instead to stay home and bond with TTB. It provides fantastic health care, flexibility in…

This is OT, sort of, but Belle de Jour was the first blog I ever read. I was 23, it was 2004, and I was a couple of years into my first "real" job. I had a lot of down time, and spent it reading about Belle's adventures. It really gave me a different perspective on sex workers from the horror stories the media…

Right,but you're a commenter on a progressive website, as am I. To you, that's a logical response. However, to the millions of fans, thousands of employees in athletics and tourism, and to all the players who aren't rapist fucks, that's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I believe we address it by tackling the…

Oh I agree. They should be held absolutely responsible. However, to create a culture where they will not be sheltered will require a tremendous shift in our (American) mindset, so that we withhold financial support in cases where rape culture is not addressed. Considering that rape is still a shrug it off crime to…

Your link exactly supports my response in another post: men's football is subsidizing other sports. Athletics as a whole is losing money: men's football is not.

This is interesting, but it's examining athletics as a whole. I did not see anything in the report breaking it down by sport or gender. Considering that rights and licensing revenue is predominantly driven by men's football and basketball, and that it outstrips total ticket revenue in football/basketball heavy…

Good luck with that. The programs are staying as long as we fund them. The players will play as long as they have a shot at an NFL/NBA career and a chance to be a BMOC. The only way to move the needle is to stop buying apparel and watching games. Since there is a culture in the US of identifying with and idolizing…

That's an interesting idea. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to address the underlying reason they are granted this privilege: money. University football programs bring in insane amounts of money. Ticket revenue is barely scraping the surface. Merchandising, advertising, and programming fees add up to huge bucks.…

Due to your optimism, which I happen to share, I wanted to spare everyone the pain of responding.

I love Ron White so-fucking-much it is ridiculous. I am also a super lib Christian inclusionist recovering from a Southern Baptist upbringing. That shit can scar you for life.

That is a badass mama.

MrBuckeye has no body odor. No deodorant, no problem is his mantra. The bastard.

Negotiations. They won't go if they can't be autonomous.

Fuck yeah. 16 days? I was still just hormones, breast milk, and weird lumpy places. I didn't even feel like a real person yet.

Not covered even by our phenom insurance. We were and are blessed and damn lucky enough to be able to afford one of those fancy dancy hospital grade ones since ToddlerTarheelBuckeye would. Not. Fucking. Latch. I fed that little turkey straight breast milk, while traveling all over the fucking southeast And having to…

I love Kiele Sanchez. She is crazy beautiful!

You're my new hero. Thanks for your generosity!!!
